PocketSphinx VS2010 HelloWorld example errors

[Teddy]

Hi, I am having this trouble when trying to build my hello project in VS 2010
on Windows 7. I am using pocketsphinx-0.7 and sphinxbase-0.7 which both
install correctly and pocketsphinx_continuous runs fine in terminal. My hello
code is exactly as the tutorial and when I build it in VS2010, it gives the
these following errors:

Error 11 error LNK1120: 9 unresolved externals C:\Users\User\documents\visual
studio 2010\Projects\hello\Debug\hello.exe hello

Could anyone help please?

Thank you in advance!

I managed to fix the problem. It was related to linking the .lib files as well
as adding in the additional library directories.
I had another problem arise when I ran my program using "Start Debugging"
which gave me these outputs:

'hello.exe': Loaded 'C:\Users\User\Documents\Visual Studio
2010\Projects\hello\Debug\hello.exe', Symbols loaded.

If I ran the program using "Start without Debugging", then the command window
pops up and opens the audio file and returning the results. Could anyone
please tell me what these outputs mean or how I can make them disappear?

Thank you in advance!

The application runs successfully in debug mode too. Most likely it doesn't
show you the output because you did not put breakpoints in the program and you
did not configure it to start as a command line application

Could anyone please tell me what these outputs mean

Those are too generic questions on how to use Visual Studio and how to develop
C/C++ applications. You can easily find an answer on this quesion in MSDN.
MSDN is an excellent information source for the developers, I suggest you to
learn to use it.

Thank you nshmyrev. Now I understand why these messages appear. I will use
MSDN to learn more about VS and developing C/C++ apps.
